You didn't tell how you did the upgrade - if you installed a precompiled rpm 
package or compiled yourself from the sources etc..
Anyway, since 1.3.something the native pdftops filter executable calls 
either the pdftops utility from xpdf or the poppler equivalent or 
ghostscript.
If you compile from the sources, this choice is a configure option; if you 
insall a precompiled rpm package, it depends on how your distributor has 
compiled it. Check the ependencies and install what is still missing.
